Shown in the picture is the alleged death gun. The photograph of this gun was taken at the WPD ballistic department where it was originally kept, about a week after Phillip’s death.

Surprisingly, one Navy officer who executed an affidavit revealed that the original gun he saw physically was not installed with the gun stabilizer.  Two other enlisted personnel on board the ship who belong to the ship’s gunnery crew also revealed in an affidavit that there was never a stabilizer installed on the alleged death gun.

What could be the Navy’s reason for tampering the gun and had it installed with the stabilizer? A reason was simple enough.  The medico-legal officer who conducted the autopsy pre-maturely disclosed that the contusions found on the right temple area could were an imprint by the rod’s end.

Knowing that the alleged death gun had no stabilizer in it, they withdrew the gun at the W.P.D. ballistic (as revealed by an insider).  The gun already had a stabilizer on its when it was returned.

Mr. Hill noted that:  “It has been stated by local examiners and investigators have speculated that abrasions observed adjacent to the entry wound may have been caused by a ‘stabilizer’ on the pistol. If by that they mean a muzzle brake or compensator which screws into the barrel end, there is no such device on the pictured weapon (picture taken by the police of the gun at the alleged death scene.).”
